With the National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams starting on 31 October and ending on 7 December, the Class of 2022 will be striving to make themselves, their families and their respective schools proud as they wrap up their secondary school education.
The first paper to be written on Monday, 31 October, will be English Paper 1. A total of 191 000 learners in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) will sit for the exam. The final exam will be the CAT and IT rewrites, which will be written on Wednesday 12 December 2022. As they bid farewell to the Grade 12’s, Avonford Secondary School wished the learner well as they prepared for their final exams. “Good luck to all our learners, we know you will excel and fly the Avonford Secondary flag high. You are well prepared for your exams,” said the school principal, Mr T Reddy.
